When attempting play YouTube videos inside Media Center 25.0.113, I get a blank video and "An Error has Occurred" message.  The page loads fine and video previews show running video, but whenever I try to play a video I get the error. Audio from library plays fine, and I can play videos in Chrome and Firefox outside of Media Center.

It appears this has been an issue in the past.  I have not purchased Media Center yet.  Is this still a known bug or could there be something incorrect in my system that is causing this problem?

If correcting this is not possible, any idea about if/when an input port would be added to the Linux version of MC so I could play an external browser through DSP Studio?

Don't think it works yet, plus some YouTube videos currently can't be played because they're encrypted.

In general YouTube videos play fine for me.
I go to the streaming page or YouTube streaming tree item, pick a video and either choose to play it in the webpage or in the player. Both work.
I assume that if the video is encrypted it will only play in MC's integrated chrome browser.

Could you send a link to a video that plays OK for you?  I've tried a variety of videos, not one will play.  Makes me wonder if something is wrong with my configuration.

I'm just going to the
Streaming entry in the tree and clicking on the YouTube icon
which brings up the default YouTube page with a bunch of videos
I click on one and MC puts up a dialog box with the choice to play in the player or display as a webpage.
Both work.

How are you trying to play them?

I'm doing the same thing!  I get an error when trying to play inside the player.  If I select webpage, it will play, but it plays through my onboard sound in my laptop and not my USB DAC.

Ok, what version of linux, what is your video card and X server?

[superb]

Thanks for your response.

MX Linux 18.x, integrated intel graphics 4600 on the motherboard - I'll confirm these when I get home later. 

What is X server?

Try this from a terminal:
grep driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep DRI

And post the results.
Also, does video on the linux machines hard drive work?

I tried to play a video from the hard drive with a .mov extension. Crashes MC every time. Video will play fine with a different media player on the same machine.

I didn't get it.
Can you check the address you sent to and try again?

The address was correct with the address listed above.  I have just re-sent it.

Thanks for taking a look. Any idea what might be causing the problem?

Just got a chance to review the log.
I want to confirm with you that MC crashes when you do this, not just skips playing the file...
